The Cebuana Lhuillier Tennis Team has once again proven its dominance, fiercely defending their title at the 41st PCA Open Men’s Team Tennis Championship with an emphatic 3-1 victory over Gimaca – PCA in the finals.

The team charged into the championship match by decisively defeating PCA – JK Tyre with a commanding 3-1 victory in the semifinals, demonstrating unmatched skill and relentless determination at every turn.

A true reflection of talent, the team’s roster brings together a diverse range of experience across age divisions. In the 65 & above category, seasoned players Ernie Dino, Domeng Feliciano, and Captain Remo Librodo delivered their best. The 60 & above division saw the dynamic presence of Jackie Tomacruz, Henry Escalante, Adelo Ruado, and Rolly Oliquino.

In the 55 & above group, Jean Henri Lhuillier, team captain Gerard Maronilla, Dustin De Torres, and Gilbert Estrada demonstrated grit and expertise. The 50 & above lineup was bolstered by the seasoned athletes Derrick Santos, Tonito Payumo, Roy Tan, and Noel Lontok, while the 45 & above division was represented by Jon Jon Lim, Jojo Miranda, and Rollyto Litang, each delivering a fierce and strategic performance.

At the heart of this powerhouse team is Jean Henri Lhuillier, President of Unified Tennis Philippines (UTP). His unwavering commitment to both the sport and his team has been instrumental in building the legacy of the Cebuana Lhuillier Tennis Team. Through his leadership, the team has risen to become the most decorated club in PCA Men’s Team Tennis history.

“What a great way to wrap the year. I’m so happy for the win and would like to commend the members of the team for their hard work and teamwork, which ultimately led to our victory. Their dedication and passion for the game have been truly inspiring. This success motivates us to aim even higher, and I’m already looking forward to defending the title again with them next year. We’re also considering competing in more tournaments to continue growing and making our mark in the tennis community,” Jean Henri Lhuillier shared.

This victory not only reinforces the Cebuana Lhuillier Tennis Team’s unmatched legacy but also stands as a testament to their unrelenting pursuit of excellence in Philippine tennis.-Marlon Bernardino -
